Controller settings
In addition to inclination angle and curving, correct configuration of the system
controller has a decisive effect on the Galeo Line Array’s sound characteristics.
As sound perception and use of the system differ greatly, only basic settings
are proposed, the equalising of which must be effected on location. Here
mainly the crossover frequency with slew rate and filter type are predefined and
the frequency response settings of the individual paths required for the
functioning of the system. The limiter and delay values are optimally set at the
factory and should not be changed.
The system controllers are supplied with settings for 4, 6 and 8 elements. The
longer the speaker array, the more the low and mid ranges are amplified by
acoustic coupling, meaning that these must be lowered in the controller .
However, experience shows that longer arrays are usually also used to achieve
higher sound intensity. The corresponding increase in the low and mid ranges
accommodates the listener’s natural perception of sound volume and should
not be entirely compensated.
Adapting to taste and room application should always be effected on the
master equaliser or the input equalizer of the system controller in order not to
affect the phasing of the single paths in relation to each other at the crossover
frequency.
